e Ninth Corps, and were engaged at South Mountain and Antietam. Kentucky.--Though a Border State and repeatedly overrun with contending armies, Kentucky furnished 79,025 men in defense of the Union. The State offered no bounties, nor did it enforce a draft; it appealed solely to r Department at Washington, in July, 1863, which were known as the Kentucky State forces, and which served as Home Guards. Sundry other militortions of the State. Among the general officers appointed from Kentucky were: Generals Anderson (of Fort Sumter fame), Rousseau, Thos.

. The Second Jersey Brigade was composed originally of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Regiments, to which the 11th was subsequently added. Other regiments were attached to the brigade at different times. The Ninth New Jersey was a regiment which reflected credit on its State, and made a brilliant reputation in the Department in which it served. It fought in the battles along the North Carolina coast, and in 1864 was attached to the Army of the James. Its principal losses occurred at Roanoke Island, New Berne, Port Walthall, Drewry's Bluff, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. The Thirteenth New Jersey is noteworthy on account of the remarkably small number cf deaths from disease which occurred within its ranks. The regiments which marched by its side sustained far greater losses from this cause. And the Thirteenth saw an unusual amount of active service, too. It had not left the State two weeks before it joined McClellan's Army on the Maryland campaign, and was hotly engaged at Antie

alry met its severest loss at Pea Ridge, the casualties in the five companies engaged there amounting to 24 killed, 17 wounded, and 9 missing. After the battle it was found that some of the bodies had been scalped, supposed to have been done by Indians who had joined the Confederate ranks. The 6th and 7th Cavalry served most of their time in the Indian Territory, engaged in campaigns against the hostile tribes. Company F of the 7th Cavalry had a fight with a large force of Indians near Julesburg, and was obliged to retreat, leaving 14 of their detachment dead on the field. The bodies of these men were horribly mutilated by the savages. The 37th Iowa, or Graybeard regiment, was a remarkable command. It was organized under General Order 89, State of Iowa, August 25, 1862, which specified that the regiment should be composed of active and vigorous men, over the age of 45, and be assigned to garrison duty. The average age of the men thus recruited was 57 years. The rolls of the

rred to the 3d Rhode Island Cavalry. Connecticut.--The 1st Heavy Artillery is noteworthy as having served in the field through the war, and in the arm of service to which it belonged. Very few of the other heavy artillery regiments in the army saw any service aside from garrison-duty, except while acting as infantry. The 1st Connecticut Heavy Artillery was organized as the 4th Infantry, but was changed in January, 1862, to heavy artillery. It served as heavy artillery at the Siege of Yorktown, in 1862, and was prominently engaged during the Siege of Petersburg, the most of its losses in action occurring at the latter place. The 1st, 2d, and 3d Infantry were three-months' regiments which went out in April, 1861, in response to the first call for troops, and were in action at First Bull Run. The 4th and 9th Infantry became, respectively, the 1st and 2d Heavy Artillery, thereby leaving those regimental numbers vacant. In the 8th Infantry, five men were executed for desertion, an

command. General McClellan's first service in the war was as the Major-General of the Ohio volunteers, and Generals Grant and Buell were born in the State. The 102d Ohio lost 70 men killed by the explosion of the steamer Sultana, on the Mississippi River, April 27, 1865; and the 115th Ohio lost 83 killed in the same accident. Ohio regiments had the honor of furnishing the twenty-two soldiers who captured a locomotive and made the famous railroad raid along the line of the Atlanta & Chattsummer of 1864. There is no satisfactory explanation for the surprising mortality in the 5th Colored Heavy Artillery, and 65th Colored Infantry. The former regiment was recruited in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was stationed along the Mississippi river at various points between Memphis and Port Hudson. The most of the deaths were caused by fevers; and at one time the regiment suffered from small pox. It was organized at Vicksburg in August, 1863, and was mustered out May 20, 1866. Its o

The 190th and 191st were sm ill battalions which did not leave the State, the war ending soon after their organization was commenced. New Jersey.--The record of the Jerseymen in the war shows that they were true to the patriotic memories of Princeton and Monmouth. The Jersey troops became conspicuous early in the war by reason of the First and Second Jersey Brigades; in fact, any history of the Army of the Potomac would be incomplete and deficient were it without frequent mention of those gallant commands. The First Jersey Brigade, proper, consisted of the 1st, 2d, 3d, and 4th New Jersey, to which the 15th was added in 1862; the 10th, 23d, and 40th were also attached at various times. It was commanded successively by Generals Kearny

tate occurred in the 15th regiment, and was undoubtedly due to the climate of the Gulf and Lower Mississippi, in which locality the regiment was stationed during much of its service. It was musteredulf States in which it served. Its loss in battle occurred entirely in the battles of the Lower Mississippi and Red River campaigns. The deaths from disease in the 16th Infantry occurred while in teldon Railroad. The loss by disease in the 30th Infantry was caused by the climate of the Lower Mississippi, where it was stationed for over two years. The 5th Battery--Phillips's — sustained the grN. C. The great mortality in the 9th was largely due to its service in the district of the Lower Mississippi, 153 of the deaths — or half of the number present for duty — occurring in the summer and avy Artillery, and 65th Colored Infantry. The former regiment was recruited in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was stationed along the Mississippi river at various points between Memphis and Port Hud<

ulated list of Pennsylvania organizations,--aggregated 112 from disease and 2 killed in action. Five companies of Pennsylvania Militia were the first volunteer troops of the war that arrived at Washington, they having marched promptly to the defense of the National Capital at the first note of alarm. These companies were the Ringgold Light Artillery, of Reading; the Logan Guards, of Lewistown; the Washington Artillery and National Light Infantry, of Pottsville; and the Allen Rifles, of Allentown. They entered the city at 7 P. M., on the 18th of April. Hist. Penn. Vols.: S. P. Bates. On the following day, the 26th Pennsylvania, and the 6th Massachusetts arrived at Baltimore en-route for the Capital, and in the fight with the mob in the streets of that city the 26th Pennsylvania lost one man killed and several wounded. The nine-months regiments from Pennsylvania furnished some noteworthy items to the casualty lists of the war. For instance: regiment. battle. Killed and Wo
